Book Description
Dr. Shipp has accomplished a rare feat: He has written a scientifically accurate book that is easy & fun to read. Although Dr. Shipp is a professor of biology at the University of South Alabama he hasn't forgotten his original love of marine biology. Every fish that one is likely to encounter in our region of the Gulf is included in this book. For you fishermen, there is interesting reading about all of your favorites, including red snapper, ling, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel & more. Each species' distinguishing characteristics, size, range & abundance & habits are discussed. Entertaining personal anecdotes, & comments on life history, commercial value, edibility, etc., highlight each description. A black-&-white photograph or line drawing illustrates each species, & 32 color plates provide an introduction to the beauty & variety of the Gulf's fishes. This book is a must for all those interested in the Gulf of Mexico & who want to know more about the fishes that live there. I recommend it--Mobile Press Register. Available through KME Seabooks, P.O. Box 81124, Mobile, AL 36689. Tel. (205) 460-6351.

Book Description
John McPhee's twenty-sixth book is a braid of personal history, natural history, and American history, in descending order of volume. Each spring, American shad-Alosa sapidissima-leave the ocean in hundreds of thousands and run heroic distances upriver to spawn. McPhee--a shad fisherman himself--recounts the shad's cameo role in the lives of George Washington and Henry David Thoreau. He fishes with and visits the laboratories of famous ichthyologists; he takes instruction in the making of shad darts from a master of the art; and he cooks shad in a variety of ways, delectably explained at the end of the book. Mostly, though, he goes fishing for shad in various North American rivers, and he "fishes the same way he writes books, avidly and intensely. He wants to know everything about the fish he's after--its history, its habits, its place in the cosmos" (Bill Pride, The Denver Post). His adventures in pursuit of shad occasion the kind of writing--expert and ardent--at which he has no equal.

Book Description
Nature Journal is an innovative presentation of the best columns and photographs from L. J. Davenport’s popular column in Alabama Heritage magazine. Readers of the magazine have come to relish his artful and often witty descriptions of common species encountered in the Alabama outdoors. But Nature Journal is designed to be much more than a mere collection of entertaining essays; it is also an educational tool—a means of instructing and encouraging readers in the art of keeping a nature journal for themselves. Each of the 25 chapters is a self-contained lesson in close observation of species morphology, behavior, and habitat; research in the literature; nondestructive capture of the subject by photography or drawing; and written description of the total observed natural phenomenon. At the end of each account, stimulating questions and gentle directives guide the reader into making his or her own observations and recordings. This book is intended for broad nature-study use in Alabama and throughout the southeast by the general reader and nature enthusiast alike, as well as visitors to museums and outdoor centers, and students of nature and nature writing at the high school and college levels. Beautifully designed to look like a personal journal, it is a perfect gift and treasured keepsake for all lovers of the natural world. Publication supported in part by Samford University
